  1. Abbreviations: Cont, continuous; Disj, disjunct.
  2. Pollen gamete haplotypes were pooled within populations, and averaged over the five loci. Private alleles are calculated as the weighted number of alleles that occurred only in one of the populations sampled.
  3. aAll observed number of alleles were weighted by average sample size (n=198).
  4. bWeighted number of alleles that were only observed in one population.
  5. cGene diversity was estimated as 1−Σpi2 where pi is frequency of allele i at a locus, then averaged over loci.
